A weekly meme hosted by Sheila @ One Person's Journey Through a World of Books.
Such a dull week...only worked a 1/2 day, was sick for about 4 days (I seem to be rejoining the land of the living now) and a funeral on the weekend (there was much consolation in that a long life was lived and bad health at the end was quick to end). I'm hoping to have a brighter week ahead.

I hope you are feeling better! Being sick is no fun. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo did go at a steady pace for me, but I'm not sure fast is the word I would use to describe it, not at first anyway. The second half flew by. That's just me though. :-) I hope you find lots of reading time this week!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get into The Girl with the dragon tattoo. I didnt finish it. Everyone raves about it though.
ReplyDeleteLOL on the Dragon Tattoo page count... I had the same reaction. :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read the Handmaid's Tale - I bought it a couple months back and still have not got to it.
I hope this week is better for you.
ReplyDeleteIt took me two or three attempts to get through Atonement, but it really is worth it. I hope you enjoy it as well.
I received for review "Lodestone Book One: The Sea of Storms" by Mark Whiteway from the author.
ReplyDeleteDip into Poisonwood Bible now - it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI tell everyone to hang in there with Dragon Tattoo, if they feel like it is dragging! You will love Poisonwood Bible!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I hope your week is better- I've heard The Poisonwood Bible is fantastic but haven't gotten a chance to read it yet!
ReplyDeleteI have not looked at the Dragon Tatoo series.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have found a rebound book to get me over my last fab read :)
enjoy ur week

I loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (and its sequels) - it's actually a bit slow to start, but past about the quarter-point, you won't be able to out it down!
ReplyDeletePoisonwood Bible is one of my all-time favorites!! Looking forward to your review of Handmaid's Tale (going there now!)...
